    I always call Gabe Newell by his rap name, MC Gee-Nipz.

    If you're going to call him by his name, then call him Gabe because that is his name.

    Ben isn't his name. Gaben isn't his name. Gabe is his name.

    But hey, if you want to continue to not be taken seriously, I won't stop you.
    But what if you want to make sure people know which Gabe you're talking about
    And what if you want to remind them of the entertaining stuff this meme has produced and at the same time the god-like role he plays in that context

    That communication issue aside, disregarding people's opinions because they enjoy a meme or a use a certain word is pretty silly

    I think Gaben is his email adress? He became internet famous pretty early for actually responding to user emails if you sent them, I think that's where it's from.
    And I'm a bit done with the 'The Newell' stuff around steam. It was funny for a bit but like in just about any case the Internet doesn't know when to quit.

    I am pretty sure Gaben is also the screen name he uses. Kinda like calling Batman by Bruce sometimes.

    Actually no. A better example would be using Gabe and Tycho to refer to Mike and Jerry.

    Also that Vinny confirmed gif is the greatest. I feel the exact same way when he pops up for a quicklook or TNT.

    I bought 3 copies of Hotline to give away so that brings me up to 10 total bought. Everyone must have this game. 2 left but I'm leaving my house now so I'll get to any PMs I get later this evening.

    I don't have an opinion on the subject, but somehow it seems like most people (by people I mean internet dregs) tend to use Gaben as a slur against the guy. I'm not saying it's a very good slur, but that's the stigma it's taken on.

    There is a thing between Patrick and the mindsets of people who would refer to themselves as "gamerz."

    Also, I just finally got around to picking up Mega Man 9 last night. Pretty damn good thus far!

    I'm glad those people separate and label themselves so that I may easily avoid them and their shit opinions.

    Gaben doesn't bother me as much in the written word

    It's when people actually pronounce 'Gaben' with their mouths that I cannot abide

    It's like someone saying, "Lol," in real life.

    Typing it on the internet? Whatever.

    Actually saying it like it's a real thing? Simply the worst.

    A) Is Steam/Valve being discussed?

    If yes, it's likely Gabe Newell
    If no, and no one follows Gabe with "Newell," it is extremely likely they are talking about Gabe of Penny Arcade

    Or maybe they're real friendly with the archangel or something

    Ain't that many Gabes
